Thank you very much for adding your systems to the team.

Fire up the systems running at least Win XP and as much memory as you have. Video card speed doesn’t mean much. Nothing less than a 500 mhz chip makes sense any more.

Check out the instructions in post 5 for links.

Download F@H 5.04 into a new folder (I use F@H). Run it from there and answer a few questions:

Name - kinoxi
Team - 36120
Launch automatically? - Yes
Ask before fetching? - no
Use IE settings? - no
Use proxy? - no (few use a proxy server to get to the Internet)

These are the most common settings. Here is a wiki detailing additional settings for the console:

You will be able to follow your points here:

More tomorrow!

My bad. Folding@home is still running on Windows 98/Me systems using the version 4.00 GUI client. You should have 128 MB of RAM.

Instructions are located here:

The older systems you have will live to fold another day, even with 98.
